Mini-Circuits has developed the ZX10 family of broadband power splitters for applications from 2 MHz to 12.6 GHz. These two-way coaxial splitters are less than 0.75 inches in size with a rugged, patent-pending unibody construction. As an example, model ZAPD-21+ operates from 50 to 2000 MHz with 25 dB typical isolation and 0.25 dB typical insertion loss (above the normal 3-dB splitting loss). It costs only $59.95 in 1 to 9 quantity. www.minicircuits.com
